Problem with that plate is smell.
Apparently when it bakes, some smell is coming out and people really hate it.
I even heard of some calling it poisonous.
Kodak has another plate in works to replace this one for this particular reason, I believe.
Thanks for suggestion, though.
I also heard that you can run Kodak Gold without post bake, anyone with experience there? |
Let me weigh in here on this. We are a full time 20 micron shop and migrating more and more to 10 micron. We have used the POO plate since it came out last year. We chose this plate since it was based on the original 3M patent and had used this technology going all the way back to Spectratech then Mirius when Creo bought them out. I can tell you for sure the POO is based on that patent but it is a different plate for sure. We have fought that plate and had nothing but problems with it. It will be out of here in the next 60 days or less!!! Our pressman HATE it! We have a local competitor using that plate and they too are looking at going away from it. We also know of a couple of other similar situations not in our state. We tried the Fuji plates for a period and loved them. Let me also point out that according to Kodak technical release on 4-07 that the LH-PJ is certified for 10 micron. That is good if your aware of what goes into a plate to make it certified. For us we can deal with 1 oven if we must but I definately dont have room for 2 ovens. Why should you use 2 or even 1 for that matter when you can do the same with no ovens. We were interested in looking into the PTP plate but that will no longer be an option by 2008. There is new no bake hi-resolution technology Kodak is introducing soon.
